Which of the following statement(s) is/are true regarding the adrenal glands' relationship with the autonomic nervous system?

Biology
1 answer:
Studentka2010 [4]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The true statements regarding the adrenal glands' relationship with the autonomic nervous system are:

a. The adrenal cortex is an extension of the parasympathetic nervous system.

c. The adrenal glands are strictly nerve tissue.

d. The parasympathetic division stimulates the adrenal cortex to secrete glucocorticoids.

e. The adrenal medulla is penetrated by the fibers of the sympathetic nervous system.

Explanation:

The  levels of the central nervous system which play important roles in influencing the autonomic nervous system include cerebral cortex, hypothalamus, brain stem, and spinal cord.  Usually, epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine are released into the blood stem when stress or a threat occurs.  This alert serves as a warning signal and defense system.  The purpose is to maintain homeostasis.

What is the relationship of nitrogen and grass
fredd [130]

Nitrogen is the major nutrient required by grass and is used to stimulate high growth rates and is key to achieving high yields, however if too much nitrogen is applied this can have a negative effects on quality.

High rates of nitrogen can also cause problems with silage fermentation due to excess nitrate having a negative impact on the fermentation process and will produce silage that is less palatable and the animals will be less keen to eat it.

<span> <span> </span> </span> <span> Nitrate is generally taken up by grasses quicker than it is incorporated into proteins and until used this excess known as luxury uptake is stored in the leaves. Excess nitrate will be present if insufficient time is allowed between application and mowing and can also occur under conditions of poor growth eg low light levels, cool temperatures. It is also a problem if there is a dry spell after application, when nitrate cannot be taken up by the roots, followed by a period of wet weather that results in luxury uptake. The plant cannot convert it to protein quickly enough so it accumulates in the plant. </span>

High rates of nitrogen may cause a reduction in crop sugars as they are used to provide energy for the increased rate of plant growth and for the manufacture of plant proteins and this increased growth rate may in turn lead to lower crop dry matter content although in practice this is often not significant.

Excess nitrate can be avoided by following the Grassland Rule to apply nitrogen at the rate of no more than 2.5 kg N/ha/day.

Which statement best describes how the structure of the alveoli allows the lungs to function properly
zlopas [31]

Out of the following given choices;

a. they increase the amount of energy transferred from the lungs to the blood

b. they increase the flexibility of the lungs as they expand during inhalation

c. they increase the volume of the lungs, allowing more oxygen to be inhaled

d. they increase the surface area of the lungs, allowing the efficient gas exchange

The answer is D. Due to their microscopic nature, they are numerous in the lungs and are also circular-shaped so as to increase the surface area for gaseous exchange. Other characteristics of alveoli that increase gas exchange are that they thinned-walled (with only a layer of cells) and moist.
